Mahtari Vandan brings sweetness in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Raipur | 06-Dec-2024 3770

TNINS

Raipur : The state government's flagship Mahtari Vandan Yojana is strengthening the economic condition of women. With this amount, they are also fulfilling their small needs. This scheme is changing the lives of needy women and turning bitterness in relationships into sweetness. It is generally said that there is always bitterness in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But this scheme has turned this sourness into sweetness.

Shailendra Dhruv's daughter-in-law Ges Kumari, a resident of village Bemacha of Mahasamund development block, is living happily in the same house under the same roof. The daughter-in-law has been living with them for the last three years. Currently, a new guest is also about to arrive at their house. For this family struggling with poverty and financial conditions, an income of two thousand rupees per month is a big amount. Apart from daily expenses, small health problems are also solved easily. However, there has never been any conflict between the two. Mother-in-law Mrs. Shailendra Dhruv always pampers her daughter-in-law like a daughter. It is a coincidence that just as the Mahtari Vandan Yojana was started, the good news of the arrival of a new guest in the house was also received, which doubled the wave of happiness in the house.

Now, new guests are about to arrive at the house of her daughter-in-law Ges Kumari. She said that in such a situation, it becomes necessary to take care of their regular checkup, food and health. The amount of Mahtari Vandan that I get regularly every month has relieved me of my worries as a mother-in-law. My husband and son earn their livelihood by agriculture and labour. In such a situation, no one can tell better than us how important this amount is. Thanking the head of the state, Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, she said that this scheme has brought sweetness in relationships along with economic strength.

It is known that under this scheme, 12 thousand rupees annual financial assistance (one thousand rupees per month) is being given in the accounts of married women. A total of 3 lakh 26 thousand women are getting the benefit in Mahasamund district. 10 installments have been paid by the government.

Chief Minister's sewing machine assistance scheme changed Yashoda's fate

Raipur | 06-Dec-2024 3612

TNINS

Raipur : The benefits of beneficiary-oriented schemes run by the state's labour department are now visible on the ground. Yashoda, who lives in a modest rented house in Purani Basti, got a sewing machine from Chhattisgarh Bhawan and Other Nirman Karmachari Kalyan Mandal, which has improved her financial condition. Yashoda's life was turned upside down when her elder daughter passed away after a long illness. Her husband worked as an electrician and he was equally sad.

He saw his wife’s suffering and after days of collective grief, they decided it was time to chart a new path. Together, they realised their surviving daughter and son deserved more than the nostalgia of their shattered lives. In a moment of shared resolve, they decided to honour their late daughter’s legacy by securing their children’s future.

Fed up with her risky job of making papad, Yashoda decided to try other professions. When she learnt about the Mukhyamantri Silai Machine Sahayata Yojana under Chhattisgarh Bhawan Evam Anyu Nirman Karmakar Kalyan Mandal, she immediately applied. The scheme gave Yashoda access to resources and support to shift to better-paid home-based work. Yashoda now earns Rs 4000 per month, a little more than she could earn.

The income was much less than before. Life is still tough as we live in a two-room rented house with a rent of Rs 4000 per month, leaving very little savings. she said. But this is a new beginning and Yashoda hopes to grow her business as a tailor.

Yashoda’s story highlights how functional social protection systems can bridge the gap in coverage and meet the needs of vulnerable populations. However, the underlying principles of social protection should always be based on inclusivity and gender accountability, especially for the most marginalised.

This is why social protection schemes must recognise the need to support women doing home-based work. After receiving concrete support through the scheme, Yashoda took up tailoring and began her journey to create a more sustainable livelihood for herself.

Sugam App: A crucial step in preventing property fraud

Raipur | 24-Oct-2024 744

TNINS

Registry process is becoming more transparent, efficient, and user-friendly.

Coordinates property's actual geographical location, permanently recorded on the registry document.

More than 1200 registries have been processed in the state since the implementation of 'Sugam App'

Raipur : Chhattisgarh government is leading in implementing user-friendly initiatives that prioritize the interests of the public. Since its launch on October 21, the Sugam App has quickly gained popularity, facilitating over 1,200 property registrations across the state and marking a significant shift towards online registration.

In compliance with Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s vision and under the directives of Finance and Registration Minister Shri OP Choudhary, the 'Sugam App' seeks to make the registry process more transparent and user-friendly.

Finance Minister Shri OP Choudhary said, “The government is committed towards more and more technological applications and procedural improvements in the registry work for citizen empowerment. Sugam App is an important step towards preventing property related fraud.”

Often such complaints come that after registration when a common man becomes a victim of fraud in many ways. It has been reported that a single property is sold to different people and in some cases registries are done for properties that do not actually exist. There are also instances where land designated for roads, pathways or gardens is sold fraudulently. In some cases more land is sold than what is physically available. These incidents contribute to disputes and an increase in court cases.

In Sugam App, during the process of registration, the party will physically go to the place where the registration is being done with his mobile. After going to that place, photos are taken from three different angles as directed in the app i.e. front, right and left of the property. That photo will automatically be transferred to the registrar's module for registering latitude and longitude of that place along with the photo. In this way, the App coordinates the actual geographical position of the property will permanently recorded in the registry paper, so that the party can go to that place anytime and identify the property.

Through the 'Sugam App', incidents of causing revenue loss to the government will also be curbed. Such incidents will be stopped through the Sugam App. The actual structure of the property will be known through the Sugam App- structures like buildings, roads, factories and other details, which cannot be hidden, curbing revenue evasion to the government. After such incidents are known, the parties will be able to get rid of the problems after registration.
